People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This often makes people even more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the unique problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse issues is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug treatment centers accessible throughout the Berkeley, Illinois area which specifically help fill these needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehab programs around Berkeley, Illinois and in the country.
